It is always a great experience working with Ripley’s!
This auction house is honest and trustworthy and very customer focused. Their photos and descriptions are spot-on and they get your item to you as quickly as possible. We are repeat customers for a reason! Highly recommended.

It all went as advertised …
It all went as advertised, no hidden charges etc. I made my maximum bid very early and the auction proceeded without any need for me to do a thing. Finally the other bidder dropped out and I won. The buyers premium was reasonable. The packing and shipping charges were reasonable and seamless. So the whole process was easy, swift, no surprises.

Ripley was great to work with!
Because of Live Auctioneers rip off shipping, handling, and other fees, I had worked directly with them to avoid the predatory policies. Even so Live Auctioneers tried to get in between Ripley and me. Through the system they shut them down. They were great. Really loved my auction win. Described perfect, handled everything, and shipped promptly. Great Company, Great People!!!
